Mumbai Police and Rajasthan Police have also joined the fest, and are sending out the important message of road safety through creative memes

Mission Mangal, headlined by Akshay Kumar, is set to release on August 15

The official trailer of the Akshay Kumar-starrer Mission Mangal released online on Thursday. The trailer has received fantastic response from moviegoers with some dialogue from it already going viral on social media. Mumbai Police and Rajasthan Police have put the impactful one-liners from the trailer to smart use. Via their Twitter handles, the two police departments are sending out the important message of road safety.

Mumbai Police’s tweet is a creative meme that will leave you in splits, but not without reminding you that drunk driving can be life-taking.

Actor Dalip Tahil, who features in the meme, was also among the many who reacted to it on Twitter. Tahil, who plays an important role in the film, wrote on the micro-blogging platform, “Copy that! Anyone even considering driving under the influence of alcohol, I'll say... ABORT! Abort the mission NOW! #MissionRoadSafety”

Rajasthan Police, on the other hand, kept their message straight and simple. They wrote on Twitter, “Wear #helmet & #seatbelt while driving & follow #TrafficRules! And @akshaykumar would say 'पूरी दुनिया से कहो, Copy That!' We join him in this chorus of #MissionMangal”

Mission Mangal, loosely based on the story of scientists at Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) who contributed to the Mars Orbiter Mission, is directed by Jagan Shakti. The film also stars Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu, Nithya Menen, Sharman Joshi and Kirti Kulhari in important roles, among others.

A joint production venture between Cape of Good Films, Hope Productions and Fox Star Studios, Mission Mangal is scheduled to hit the screens on August 15, Independence Day. At the box office, the film will clash with the John Abraham-starrer Batla House. It is for the second year in a row that Akshay and John will be face-to-face at the box office on Independence Day. Last year, the fight was between Akshay’s Gold and John’s Satyameva Jayate.
